WTH does the cost of electricity reset after a system restart, when the energy sensor it is using to calculate does not?

Seems I was wrong, the cost sensors are generated:

Energy costs sensor resets after restart

I also noticed the same (and maybe to add some information to this post). With the new energy dashboard from some releases ago, in the latest release when setting up an energy sensors with a pricing entity linked to calculate costs, HomeAssistant also auto-creates new sensors named ‘Sensor cost’ with a price which seems to be like a meter entity that: Resets once per day Resets when HA restarts. I guess second option can’t be changed as it might be some tracked cost in the portal, but my ques…

Looking closely in my config I found them too.

I don’t actually use them (I track costs outside the energy dashboard).

I just did an update which required a restart and they do reset.

So ignore everything I said.

I’d definitely open an issue about this (if I used it). Issues · home-assistant/core · GitHub
